” Rav Moshe is very against making a Bas Mitzvah party”
Where can these Teshuvos be found?
In the printed teshuvos, he is not “very against” it:
he calles it a “devar reshus” ( OC 1:104) that is assur in shul, and “not assur” in the home
in OC 2:30 he again reiterates it is a “devar reshus” which is assur to be made in shul, unless shul was built al tnai to host “parties”
In OC 2:97 he explains why three is no mitzva to make a seuda, unlike bar mitzvah, but does not suggest an issur
Finnaly in OC 4:36 (in a teshuva to R’ Meir Kahane) he yet again calls it a “reshus” and allows a Kiddush with a speech wishng mazel tov (though not at the bima, )
Is there anther teshuva in whcih you see him saying he is “very agaisnt” it .
Are you defining “devar reshus” as being something assur ?
thanks
